Apropos of nothing, when Fantasy Flight acquired the Netrunner license in 2012 they reimagined the original game's setting for the 21st century.

Their new Android: Netrunner was forward-looking in its depiction of race, gender and corporations. It made cyberpunk relevant to now.
Corporations were still the enemy in this re-imagined Netrunner, but they were friendly, PR-softened entities that promised to make your life easier if you'd just sign on the dotted line. Naturally, they were all the more recognisable and frightening for it.
But most memorable of all were the new lineup of hackers who took the fight to these corporations. Coming from every possible walk of life, they felt representative of what punk has evolved into in the 21st century.
